After reading Mike Vaccaro’s column about Madison Square Garden [Open Mike: “World’s most heinous arena,” The Post and nypost.com, Sept. 16], I was inspired to write. In 1968, after graduating Flushing High School, I got my first job as an office clerk at Madison Square Garden. Riding the subway into the city every morning, I was on cloud nine. I couldn’t wait to get to my job sorting mail and making my rounds visiting the offices of such esteemed men as Irving Mitchell Felt, Ned Irish, Emile Francis, Bill Jennings and Eddie Donovan, just to name a few. I wonder how those men who brought fame and dignity to the Garden might feel today. I still love my Rangers, but try my best to disassociate them with the any thought of the management in charge now. Any link between the Rangers and the Knicks does not exist in my mind.

* Isiah Thomas is not alone. Apparently many think that there is a difference between when a black or white man uses certain language when referring to women. Don Imus was fired for making a stupid joke, but Jay-Z has a hit song with a chorus that goes, “I’ve got 99 problems, but a b – – – ch ain’t one.” Freedom of speech means that we all have an equal right to potentially make fools of ourselves.

* At least Thomas is an equal-opportunity bigot.

* Hearing what Thomas thinks of the fans and advertisers is one thing, but seeing the arrogance of MSG CEO James Dolan on the taped deposition is something else. Yet some folks will still attend events at the Garden! In the words of that great showman PT Barnum, “There’s a sucker born every minute.”

* As an human-resource professional, I will be using Dolan in my training sessions for years to come. HR 101 states that you don’t fire someone for making a complaint as it is viewed as retaliation. You need to listen, investigate the complaint and then take appropriate action.

* It says a lot about Cablevision, Madison Square Garden and James Dolan when they reward such reverse-thinking employees. Funny, Imus was fired for a lot less, yet Thomas is continuously employed for his crude treatment of fellow employees and for his incompetence in running the Knicks.
